“Al should celebrate,” writes Dave Meinert from the party at the Mirabeau Room. “And Nickels should be scared. At this party we have two council members who could have trounced Nickels. His stripper ban is so silly it makes me think he goes out of town for lap dances. People here are already planning on running Licata for mayor in ‘09. He’ll be married and even fiercer. Watch out you Sidranesque mayoral staff. The people ain’t going to stand for your white-bread doughboy bullshit when there is a real candidate to stand up to it.”

Don’t bottle up your feelings, Dave, it’s not healthy. Let it all out. Tell us how you really feel.
